Humble Pie

I'll get to the rest of the Humble Pie tapes on Monday.. tomorrow's rest day...
These first ones are really cool though.. not exactly "Promo" tapes, they're really intended only for the engineers, producers, and marketing guys to take out of the studio with them.. meaning there's WAY less copies of them ever made.. typically a dozen or so...
Pretty cool too, as it was for the best compilation of Humble Pie stuff ever issued..It was likely in the planning stages while Steve was still alive too , as it came out a little over 2 years after his death. (I'd hate to think it was a tactless cash-in on his tragic death)

My Copyright notice (IMPORTANT!!!!!)

The original copyrights in these cover designs continue to be owned by whoever designed them.. However by posting photos and scans of them here for informational and entertainment uses only, I claim the actual intent of "Fair Use' rights.

However, I add this on my own..

You may use these for any private purpose you see fit, but

YOU MAY NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES WHATSOEVER USE THESE SCANS FOR ANY COMMERCIAL PURPOSE WHAT SO EVER!!

That means NO copying and posting on Ebay, or any other commercial website, to 'represent' the item you're too lazy or dishonest to scan or photograph for yourself..

If i ever find you have been using my scans to represent your items on any sales website WHATSOEVER.. i will IMMEDIATELY report you.

That also means no copying these scans to assist in creating 'Fake' cassettes either, for any commercial sale.

I WILL REPORT YOU!

Collecting is tricky enough without theives and liars getting into the mix...

And i look LONG and HARD to find ones in condition as good as these are to display..

Thank you for your time..

What cassette I'm ripping (or listening to) right now

Why Collect Cassettes?

Indeed? Nobody usually knows why they've got "The Bug"..

But.. look at it this way, Collectors are, firstly, Historians, guardians of an eras' culture .. and if the pieces of history one collects have artistic value, and even functionality.. this is where it all comes together..

Happy hunting!
